TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 414,439, dated November 5, 1889; Application filed June 14, 1889- Serial No. 314,298. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILFRED PAGE, of Penns Grove, Sonoma county, State of California, have invented an Improvement in Two-Vv heeled Vehicles; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

My invention relates to the class of two- Wheeled vehicles commonly known as carts -and niyinvention consists in the hereinafterdescribed novel connection and arrangement of parts, the object of which is to provide a cart in which the horse motion is obviated,

I so that the vehicle becomes an easy-riding The forward ends of the body-bars cl are connected with the shafts through the flat springs b, which are bolted at their rear ends under the shafts, and have their forward ends connected with the irons cl, extending forwardly from the body-bars. A yielding connection between the shafts and body is thus provided, which avoids the transmission of the up-anddown movement of the former to the latter; but in order to properly limit the play of this connection I have the limiting-loops F attached to the body bars and springs 12 at their junction, and loosely 0r freely embracing the shafts. To the bases of these loops, or the forward ends of the body-bars, I connect the footboard straps e, which at their rear ends are clipped to the body bars, and thence pass down in front of the axle, thence horizontally, and finally up to their forward connection. This provides a simple and elfective connection of all the parts and gives a vehicle which proves an easy-riding and practical conveyance.

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is

1. In a two-wheeled vehicle, the axle, the shafts connected therewith, the body-springs,

and the body, in combination with the body- 5 5 bars clipped-to the springs and extending forwardly, the irons d',projecting from said bars and connecting them with the foot portion of the body, and the springs I), connected to the front of the irons and to the shafts, substan- 6o tially as described.

2. In a two-wheeled vehicle, the body, with its foot portion E, the axle, the body-springs, and the shafts, in combination with the bodybars having the irons d on the front ends connecting them with the front of the foot portion of the body, the flat springs b between the front of the body-bars andthe shafts, and the limiting-loops F, extending from the front corners of the foot portion of the body and embracing the shafts, substantially as described.

8. In a two-wheeled vehicle, the combination of the axle, the shafts connected therewith,

the body-springs, the body having a footboard, the body-bars, the loops F, connected with the body-bars and loosely embracing the shafts, and the straps e of the foot-board bolted at their rear ends to the shafts and connected at their forward ends with the So body-bars and loops F, substantially as described.

4. In a two-wheeled vehicle, the combination of the axle, the shafts connected therewith,

the bodysprings, the body having a footboard, the body-bars, the springs I), connecting the shaft-s with the body-bars, the loops -F, connected with the body-bars and loosely embracing the shafts, and the straps e of the body foot-board, bolted at their rear ends to ILFRED PAGE.
